Marine yeast Candida MCCF 101 as feed supplement in aquaculture: nutritional quality, optimization of large scale production and evaluation of its protective effect on Koi carp from Aeromonas infection
Sunitha, Poulose; Dr.Bright Singh, I S
Marine yeast have been regarded as safe and showing a beneficial
impact on biotechnological process. It provides better nutritional and
dietary values indicating their potential application as feed supplements in
aquaculture. Brown et al. (1996) evaluated all the marine yeasts
characterised with high protein content, carbohydrate, good amino acid
composition and high levels of saturated fats. However, there is paucity of
information on marine yeasts as feed supplements and no feed formulation
has been found either in literature or in market supplemented with them.
This statement supported by Zhenming et al. (2006) reported still a lack of
feed composed of single cell protein (SCP) from marine yeasts with high
content of protein and other nutrients. Recent research has shown that
marine yeasts also have highly potential uses in food, feed, medical and
biofuel industries as well as marine biotechnology (Chi et al., 2009; 2010).
Sajeevan et al. (2006; 2009a) and Sarlin and Philip (2011) demonstrates
that the marine yeasts Candida sake served as a high quality, inexpensive
nutrient source and it had proven immunostimulatory properties for
cultured shrimps. This strain has been made part of the culture collection of
National Centre for Aquatic Animal Health, Cochin University of Science
and Technology as Candida MCCF 101. Over the years marine yeasts have
been gaining increased attention in animal feed industry due to their
nutritional value and immune boosting property.Therefore, the present study was undertaken, and focused on the
nutritional quality, optimization of large scale production and evaluation of
its protective effect on Koi carp from Aeromonas infection

Process Improvement of Coir Pith Degradation Involving White Rot Fungi By Substitution of Urea With Nitrogen Fixing Bacteria and Application of Biodegraded Coir Pith as Plant Growth Medium
Abesh, Reghuvaran; Dr. Anita Das, Ravindranath
In this study, a novel improved technology could be developed to convert
the recalcitrant coir pith into environmental friendly organic manure. The standard
method of composting involves the substitution of urea with nitrogen fixing
bacteria viz. Azotobacter vinelandii and Azospirillum brasilense leading to the
development of an improved method of coir pith. The combined action of the
microorganisms could enhance the biodegradation of coir pith. In the present study,
Pleurotus sajor caju, an edible mushroom which has the ability to degrade coir
pith, and the addition of nitrogen fixing bacteria like Azotobacter vinelandii and
Azospirillum brasilense could accelerate the action of the fungi on coir pith. The
use of these microorganisms brings about definite changes in the NPK, Ammonia,
Organic Carbon and Lignin contents in coir pith. This study will encourage the use
of biodegraded coir pith as organic manure for agri/horti purpose to get better
yields and can serve as a better technology to solve the problem of accumulated
coir pith in coir based industries

Magesh, G; Dr. Menon, A R R
mbikulam Tiger Reserve of Western Ghats using Geospatial technology. The major objectives of the study are Land use land cover mapping (LULC) and Phytodiversity analysis. Satellite data was used to map the land use / land cover using supervised classification techniques in Erdas imagine. The change for a period of 32 years was assessed using the multi-temporal satellite datasets from Landsat MSS (1973), Landsat TM (1990), and IRS P6 LISS III (2005). A geospatial approach was used for the land cover analysis. Digital elevation models, Satellite imageries and SOI topo sheets were the data sets used in the analysis. Vegetation sampling plots distributed over the different forest types were enumerated and studied for Phytodiversity analysis.
